What a FINE is A FINE is that which is accounted of all kind of Assurances the highest and most forcible and although it be but fictio Juris yet it is called a Fine quia finem litibus imponit and is also said to be exceptio peremptoria and therefore not onely esteemed A micab●lis compositio but finalis concordia the latter of which it is deservedly said to be quia finem ponit negotio adeo ut neutra pars litigantium ab eo de cetero possit recedere It is an Instrument or Assurance containing a final Agreement commonly made by the consent of persons sometimes by force of a Suite in Law upon some Covenant for the levying thereof concerning Lands Tenements Hereditaments Rent or other things wherein the Kings Licence must be duly had and obtained It must be acknowledged by the Cognizor Deforceant or he that parts with his right in the ●ands contained in the Fine upon a writ of Covenant most commonly but sometimes upon a Quid juris clamat per quae servicia de rationabilibus divisis de Recto patens de Recto clausum warantia Cha●tae c. as the case requires before the Iustices of the Common Pleas or such other persons thereunto authorized by Commission out of Chancery and lastly it must be ingrossed upon Record in the same Court there to remain for ever for the ending and composing of all differences and controversies as well between the parties and privies to the same as all strangers not claiming in due time Although a Fine is now become a formal Assurance of common use from the result of a feigned difference yet anciently it was the composure of a real controversie and the end of a Suite indeed For after the parties had contended by suite in law about the thing in question by agreement a fine was levyed of it and so the difference was ended This of all other is esteemed the best Assurance and is much of the nature of a Feoffment with Livery and Seisin executed thereupon but of greater efficacy and therefore called a Feoffment upon Record By this Lands may be conveyed in Fee-simple Fee-tayl for life or for years and rent thereby also reserved And lastly to sum up all in the words of the Sages of the Law There neither is nor can be provided by the Laws of the Land any greater or more noble Security by which any person may make his Estate more secure or produce a Testimony of the highest Nature for confirmation of his Estate then a Fine levyed in the Kings Court upon Record which is therefore called a Fine because it ought to be the Complement and end of all proceedings and differences CAP. II. Of the several kinds of a Fine OF Fines there be four kinds The first whereof is called a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo que il ad de son done which is single and called also a Fine sur Release The second is a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo que il ad de son done which is double and properly called a Fine sur done grant render The third is called a Fine sur Cognizance de droit tantum which is sometimes single sometimes with Grant and then it is called a Fine sur done grant And the fourth a Fine sur concessit A Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo que A Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. what it is il ad de son done is the best most principal and surest of all kind of Fines by which an Estate passeth absolutely to the Cognizee without rendring any thing back again to the Cognizor and therefore is said to be single It is levyed with Proclamations according to the form of the Statute 4 H. 7. Cap. 24. It is said to be executed viz. such a Fine whereby the possession in Law of the lands contained therein is immediately transferred to and v●sted in the Cognizee without the help of a writ of habere facias seisinam so that he may enter for that the Estate is thereby in law in the Cognizee that is to say to such uses as are declared in the deed leading the use of the Fine for take this for a maxime That unless it be declared by deed or otherwise to what use the Fine was levyed the Fine shall be and inure to the use of the Cognizor that levyed the Fine A Fine sur done grant render is that which is A Fine sur done grant render what called a double Fine being in a manner two Fines that is to say A Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. and a Fine sur Concessit form'd into one whereby the Cognizee after Release and warranty made to him by the Cognizor of the lands
Members though the greatest part of them consent thereto without the general consent of the whole Corporation may Levy a Fine for that shall not be good Corporations Spiritual as Bishops Deans and Chapters Heads and Fellows of Colleges and the like are forbidden and restrained by divers Acts of Parliament from levying any Fine of their lands belonging to them at this day but of the lands such persons have in their own Right they may levy Fines as other persons may do A Fine levyed by one Ioyntenant Tenant in Common or Partner of Lands so held by him to a Stranger another Ioyntenant Tenant in Common or Partner will be good And lastly take this general Caution concerning Cognizors in Fines That they must be such and have such an Estate in the Lands intended to be granted by Fine as they are not prohibited by any Law to levy the Fine otherwise the Fine will be void And hence it is That Bishops Deans and Chapters Prebends Parsons Vicars and the like may not levy a Fine of any Ecclesiastical Lands in which they have any Estate of Freehold in right of their Churches Houses c. for if they do it will be void after their lives Coke 11. 78. Plowd 575. 538. 375. 21 Edw. 4. 13. And hence it is that he that hath an Estate Tayl of the Kings gift of provision may not levy a good Fine of it to bind the King or the Issue in Tayl by 32 H. 8. Cap. 28. And that a Fine levyed by the heir that is an Intruder upon the Kings possession is void 1 H. 7. 5. 24 Edw. 3. 65. And hence it is that he that hath an Estate in Fee-simple of lands in the Right of his wife may not levy a Fine thereof without her and if he do she or her heirs or other person to whom the right may come may avoid it after her death 32 H. 8. Cap. 28. 12 Edw. 4. 14. Coke 6. 55. Brooke Fines 121. Concerning Cognizees in Fines you are to W●o may be Cognizees in Fines know That any person that is capable of being a good Grantee in a Deed may be a good Cognizee in a Fine and may thereby have and take the thing granted by it And so any man or woman Sole or Covert of full age or under age any mad or Lunatick person Ideot or man de non sane memorie any person in or out of prison or beyond Sea any person attainted of Felony or Treason or outlawed in a personal Action a Bastard a Clerk convict an Alien any one of these may be a Cognizee and take by a Fine as well as by a Deed. And a Fine levyed to any such person is good 50 Edw. 3. 9. 3 H. 6. 42. 24 Edw. 3. 62. So Corporations Spiritual and Temporal Civil or Corporal may be Cognizees in Fines and Fines levyed to them will be good But before the Ingrossing of such a Fine there goeth alwaies a Writ to the Iustices of Common Pleas Quod permittunt Finem illum levari Note that a Fine sur Cognizance de droit come ceo c. may not be levyed to any person but one that is party to the writ of Covenant Except the Cognizee be a Demandant in a writ of Entry And so a Fine levyed by the Demandant to the Vouchee who is supposed by the Law to be Tenant to the land or from the Vouchee to the Demandant is good and yet they are not Parties to the Writ But a Fine levyed by the Vouchee to a Stranger is void Coke 3. 29. 7 Edw. 4. 13. Care must be taken in Fines that Cognizors and By what names Cognizors and Cognizees may give and take in a Fine Cognizees must be named in Fines by their right names of Baptism and Surname except they be Kings Princes Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts or Barons which are admitted without any surname as Jacobus Rex Angliae Carolus Princeps Walliae Johannes Dux Lancastr c. But for Knights Esquires and Gentlemen which be names of Worship and Honour their Christian name and Sur-name are alwaies expressed together with their Additions And as for the Additions of Bishop Dean Parson c. they are admitted in Fines rather out of Courtesie then necessity for the Fine may be good without them Brownlow 1. part 30. 7 H. 4. 22. 1.

VII Before whom and how Fines are to be levyed with the manner of drawing a Fine at Bar by the Serjeants at Law THe persons before whom Fines are to be levyed are such as either take Cognizance of Fines ex Officio and by vertue of their Office or such as are appointed and authorized thereunto Those that do it ex Officio are the Lord Chief Iustice for the time being of the Court of the Common Pleas who hath power to receive and certifie the Acknowledgment of all manner of Fines without any kind of Commission as well in any place out of the Court as in the Court. And so any two of the Iustices of the same Court may do it in open Court Those that take Cognizance of Fines otherwise then ex Officio are such as do it by vertue of some Commission General or Special granted unto them by the King out of Chancery The first sort of those that take and certifie Cognizances of Fines by vertue of Commission are Iustices of Assize who although they may do it by the general words of their Patent yet they do not use to certifie them without a special writ of Dedimus potestatem Secondly the Iudges of both Benches and Barons of the Exchequer who do usually first take the Cognizance of Fines without Dedimus potestatem and afterwards Certifie the same upon a Dedimus potestatem to warrant and justifie their proceedings therein The third sort are certain discreet honest and understanding Gentlemen in the Country or place where the Cognizors which are to acknowledge the Fine reside who have alwaies a special writ of Dedimus potestatem directed unto them whereby they have power to do such things therein as the Chief Iustice doth daily ex Officio upon surmise that the parties that are to acknowledge the Fine are not able to travel to Westminster for the doing thereof And by this Writ upon such surmise power may be given to any Serjeant at Law or to any Knight or Gentleman together to take the Cognizance of the persons that are to be Cognizors in the Fine And this they may take from them either altogether at once or asunder at several times and in several places as they please But herein great care must be had by the Commissioners in executing their Commission least they commit some notorious errour to make void the Fine As if the Dedimus potestatem be to two Ioyntly to do it and one of them doth it alone or if the same be to three Ioyntly to do it and two of the three onely do it or the like this will be Errour So if one of the Cognizees be one of the Commissioners and he himself take the Cognizance of the Fine this likewise will be Errour F.

Erros Assignes The Iudges and Commissioners impowered to take Cognizance of Fines are to be careful of whom they take such Cognizances for Fines before them That they know the Cognizors and so do not suffer one person to make Cognizance in the name of another nor take any Cognizance from persons prohibited by Law and such as are unfit to be Cognizors as Infants Mad men Drunken men and the like And if husband and wife be Cognizors the wife ought to be examined solely and secretly whether she be content of her own free will to part with her right in the land or whether she do it by the menace and threats or out of fear of her Husband and then the contents of the Fine must be read distinctly to her And if the Iudge doubt of her age he may examine her upon oath and so may Commissioners which being done and the Fine read to the Cognizors they are to put their hands to the Concord And then the Commissioners are to certifie the Cognizance of the parties the same day and year when it was taken and so return the Dedimus with the Concord into the Court of Common Pleas within a year after it is taken at farthest And upon any of the Commissioner's refusal so to do the party grieved may by Certiora●i compel him that hath it in his Custody his Executor or Administrator to certifie it How to sue out a Fine before the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.

The former definition explained IF any person have a desire to render himself capable of disposing of Lands or Tenements which are intayled upon him and would be enabled to sell give or bequeath them as he pleaseth the course is to procure some friend to bring a Writ against him for this Land or in case where he doth sell the Land perhaps he that buyeth it or is to have it setled upon him shall bring the Writ against him that is to make the Assurance of the Land if it be with a single Voucher And in this case the Demandant being Plaintiff in this Action doth suppose that the Tenant or he against whom the Writ is brought hath no right to the Land but that he onely viz. the Demandant hath right thereunto and that the Tenant came to the Land wrongfully by means of one Hugh Hunt a stranger therein named And to this Writ the Tenant doth appear either by Attorney or in person and then doth enter into defence of the Land but in Pleading doth vouch to warant such a man from whom or his Ancestors the Lands in question are supposed to come to him or his Ancestors the Ancestor of which third person obliging himself and his heirs by Conveyance to warant and make good the Title to him or them to whom it was Conveyed and thereupon he prayeth that this Vouchee or third person may be called into Court to defend this Title whereupon being called he doth appear and seem to defend the Title denying that the Tenant came to the land wrongfully by means of the aforesaid Hugh Hunt upon which he takes Issue
